The rocking-2-gether chair, idea and design by Paul Kweton (2012).
The rocking-2-gether chair
(patent pending) is a hybrid between a rocking chair and dog/cat house. This
project initially started in 2011, generating digital 3D models. Several 1:8
scale 3D printed models followed, refining the balance and rocking behaviour of
the chair. The prototype 2.1 chair is made out of CNC milled birch plywood. The
density and amount of the CNC milled "ribs" can be controlled with
differently sized wooden spacers (see photographs), ergo controlling the visual
connection between the person and his/her pet. The design process and final
full scale prototype of the rocking-2-gether chair showcases the successful
combination of digital modeling and digital fabrication.
Prototype Material
CNC milled birch plywood (CNC milled in
California)

A simple profile, clean lines and meticulous attention to detail have elevated the Brunston Tubular chair to an icon of twentieth century furniture design. Our extremely high quality version has a tubular polished chrome plated grade 304 steel frame and completely upholstered with Italian top grain leather. Eames dsw
